Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the results of the Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy and Complex Decongestive Therapy in patient diagnosed with lipedema.

Detailed description

The collected content will be transferred over SPSS 21.0. The normality distribution of the data will be evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk Test. Data will be displayed as mean±standard deviation, median (1st quartile-3 quartile), or number(percent). In comparisons between the two consuming variables before and after exercise, if the values fit the normal distribution, the "paires sample t test" is used, if not, the Wilcoxon test is used. In the comparison of 3 groups, one-way ANOVA will be applied if it is normally distributed, and if it does not fit the normal distribution, the Kruskal Wallis test will be applied. Post-hoc analysis was planned for the printer, which was determined to determine the method statistically. To compare categorical protections is to use the Chi-square test. P \< 0.05 will be considered future.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy	Shock wave therapy is a new modality for the improvement of cellulite and lipedema; it is an easy, noninvasive, local therapy, without side effects, with short periods of application. Its original idea was the stimulation of lipid mobilization and improved lipolysis in areas with edema.
OTHER	Complex Decongestive Therapy	Complex decongestive therapy (CDT) is one of the most important treatment modalities of choice for patients with this clinical condition. CDT has two phases: treatment and maintenance. The first stage consists of skin care, manual lymph drainage, kinesiotherapy and bandaging of the limb. Drainage can facilitate the return of lymphatic flow by stimulating the cisterna chyli. Next, kinesiotherapy is applied, which aims to activate the lymph. Finally, the limb is moistened and then a compressive bandage is applied aimed at creating a pressure gradient towards the areas where lymph absorption is greater. The second phase continues skin care, physical exercises and external compression applications using bandages with varying degrees of elasticity.
